Separation-of-powers material can be represented as a simplified process flow. Honesty note: simplified US federal structure model; jurisdictions and doctrine vary; the pinned first step states the as-of date; not legal advice.

Structure model honesty note

Honesty note: simplified US federal structure model; jurisdictions and doctrine vary; as of June 24, 2026; not legal advice; code encodes a process and label model, not the law itself.

Example process packet

The toy packet starts with a bill record, then moves through legislative, executive, and review labels.

The flow recomputes route structure

The procedure flow recomputes 6 nodes and 5 edges from the authored process route.
